Combo Weapon change

Post by Wabbitface »

Hey,

Changing weapons with the numbers are such a hassle, why not enable weapon change up & down to Q, E or even the mouse wheel?

Just a thought as it does seem very clunky. First time I tried to switch weapon was I used the mouse wheel, this maybe the same for other players too.

I agree, mouse scroll weapon change would be nice. My numbers are quite high up the keyboard meaning my fingers have to stretch to reach them in Combo. Quite uncomfortable.

I don't get the point.

Ever since I played FPS games (more than 80% of my life) I never ever used anything else for switching weapons than numeric keys, it's much more useful and intuitive. And it's not even because I decided to play like this, more like games back in the day only had numeric keys weapon switching and nothing else.

Of course it could be nice to have an option to bind those keys whatever way you want it, but it's not an utmost importance, and I'd even say you should better get used to switching weapons with numeric keys as it's faster and preciser.

well, you can, just go to profile. but still, I can't understand how I can run with WASD and change weapons with same hand at the same time.

Sometimes I can't get back to rockets...i even tried to change the key, but still no succes.
Very hard to play that mode when you can't get back to rockets :roflol:
Anyways, I agree with the others, and I am looking forward to an easier way to change weapons, but still, great mode :thumbsup:
